The Quick Answer to Setting up a Java Server

Making a server in Minecraft Java requires you to download the server files from the official Minecraft website, configure them on your computer, and then launch the server so others can connect. It sounds simple, right? Let’s break it down!

First, head over to the Minecraft website and download the Java server files. Next, create a new folder on your computer where you’ll keep these files. Double-click the server file to start it, then adjust the server settings to your liking by editing the server.properties file. Don’t forget to agree to the EULA by editing the eula.txt file! Finally, launch your server and share your IP address with your buddies so they can join in on the fun.
